[phpMyAdmin Developers] About contributing to the phpMyAdmin Community

Hi, I'm Buddhi Vikasitha, an undergraduate of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Moratuwa. I thought about contributing to major projects while doing my studies at the university. Searching for some potential opportunities to work, I saw that you offer student developers to work with your projects. Also there was the link to GSoC 2016 project details. I was very happy you have programs for students. I would like to know and join if there is any more programs offered for students than letting us contribute by code. But even with contributing to the phpMyAdmin Community I have a lot to know yet. Can I know some answers to my questions? About how can I get started, what kind of work is there, and how can I contribute to your projects, how to get to know your people from here, etc. is what need to know. A more detailed explanation than the webpage is what I seek for. At GSoC 2016 I am more than happy to contribute to you because contributing to a major project in the world is what I am going achieve these days. I need information about the above points if you are happy to provide them. Hope you get back to me with a reply to this. Thank you very much.
